Sundial and Rock Garden

Touch, Sight

This garden is composed of the Sundial Garden with a stone retaining wall to the north and the Rock Garden to the south. In the centre of the garden is a limestone patio area with a world-renown interactive Analemmatic Sundial, consisting of a horizontal stone slab with markers for each month and the vertical side of the adjacent stone wall with numbers to represent the hours of the day.

Children, and adults too, love to explore the sundial and the interplay of light and shadow in telling time.

The Children's Garden of the Senses is a Sensory Garden. The Garden is dedicated to the famous Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery and it pays tribute to her writings especially about gardens and landscapes which she describes in a very sensory way.

The Garden is a fun-filled interactive sensory garden for children, as well as for people of all ages and abilities, which allows them to regain contact with nature through the use of the human senses.

Individual Donors and Sponsors, we welcome your generous support! We recognize you generous funding through various means as well as by displaying your name on the Sponsor Board at the Garden's welcome kiosk.

The Garden is a public Destination Park of the Town of Halton Hills and it is available for anyone to visit during daylight hours. Please refer to Visiting if you are interested in using the Garden facilities for a period of time.
